addedThis is a big one. We've added Experimental Features , the first of which we've added is the greatly-requested Grab and Drag Locomotion for the giant. This mechanic is designed allow those with smaller playspaces to play similarly to VR players with a lot of physical space.
changedWe've been working on this feature since launch after seeing so many people ask for it. Because it could have a big effect on gameplay balance, we've taken our time on it to fine-tune some of the interactions behind it, so they gameplay doesn't become too chaotic or unfair. We're releasing it as an experimental feature to indicate to everyone that it's not in a totally completed state yet, and needs more testing and feedback from a wider audience.
addedGrab and Drag can be enabled in the new Experimental tab in the Settings menu. When anything in this tab is changed, you'll see an icon in your lobby and an icon shown in the server browser beside your room. By default, grab and drag is mapped to the grip button when enabled.
changedThere is a limited allowance for moving on the Y-axis (up and down) when dragging, which is custom set for each map.

A few notes:

  • You currently can not snap-turn when dragging.

  • You can grab and drag on most objects, but some you can't, such as environmental barriers like the mountains in Riverguard and the chains in Altar.

  • There is a limited allowance for moving on the Y-axis (up and down) when dragging, which is custom set for each map.
